Food is life but our food system is killing us.
Our global food system lies in the tight grip of a handful of powerful players who are prioritising profit at any cost - despite rising obesity, ill-health and a worsening climate crisis - aided by governments who are letting them get away with it.
Stuart Gillespie, a veteran of four decades at the frontline of global food policy, reveals how we can transform it into a system that can nourish all of us, as well as the planet we live on. Both unflinching exposé and revolutionary call to arms, Food Fight maps a way towards a new system and reveals the solutions within our grasp.
